Well planned and convenient group tour. The guide was great. Explained us about the various sights we saw and was interactive. The bus ride was comfortable but I didn't see the charging ports near my seat. Unfortunately the Northern lights tour was cancelled and headout.com said they will refund me. Great service altogether.

It was a toss up between winter and summer and we chose to see Iceland in winter, the scenery was very dramatic and we were lucky to have caught the aurora later that night.

The local partner was really good. Headout was not so much, they were not replying e-mail, and a lot of unclarity of the tour. So I needed to confirm one by one to local partner.

Even thouh the weather was not the best (cloudy) our guide Daniel did his best and even stopped on the middle of the road to show us the lights he spoted on the sky. Was the best moment in this evening and if he had not reacted so smart and fast, no one would habe seen later that was even more cloudier.

The guide (Gunn) was very competent and sympatic. She explained a lot about the places and also about Iceland generally. The places are just facinating... The only negative point on the tour is the pick up system. The way it's "organized" is very caotic. All tourists meet in one only place and there all wait for the own bus (no one knows wich and when...). Each bus that comes is an expectation... and once it comes, drives you to another place to split the people in different buses... just that alone is at least 1 hour of the tour... that can be improved...
